Not sure what to tell you... that all looks right. When I test it, if I 
change my "#!/usr/bin/php" (my path is different...) to 
"#!/usr/bin/phpnot", I also get the bad interpreter message.

The size of that file is maybe not good... mine is 19,196 bytes 
(granted, it's on a different system - Mandrake - and a different 
version - 4.3.3). PHP has had several updates, IIRC 4.3.0 has some 
vulnerabilities. You might try doing an update... maybe it will fix itself?
